TENNESSEE ELECTIONS: On next Thursday week the election for Governor, Congressmen, and members of the
Legislature comes on in Tennessee.—The eyes of the whole Union are turned upon the contest now going
on in that State, the result of which is looked to, by all as calculated to have great weight in
determining the prospects of the two great political parties of the Union. It affords us pleasure to
assure our readers, that from every portion of that patriotic State, the prospect is gratifying and
cheering. Tennessee is still free from the shackles of executive influence. The deputed Government
candidate has failed to revolutionize the State. And Freemen will not be dictated to by an
emisary of the Government.–A party zeal, a sycophantic subserviency which stops at nothing beyond
which, the executive of the nation may desire it to proceed, will receive its reward in the
condemnation of an insulted people.

In the event of this election, the whigs of Mississippi feel a deep interest, and it will be a source
of proud gratification to our State to witness the defeat of that man who for party sake,
insulted and disregarded her expressed will, depriving her of a voice in the councils of the nation,
by her selected representatives. Every nerve was strained and is still straining, every exertion
resorted to, and all will not do. Under the sacred name of democracy, “means most foul and unnatural”
have been used to insure success.

An abolition Editor from the North imported to teach Southern people Southern interests. Candidates
with small prospects of success, appointed to office, under the General Government for the purpose
of making room for others more likely to succeed. The Hungry expectant, the hireling office, all, all
have been resorted to, and all will not do. The intelligence, the patriotism, the virtue of the people
of Tennessee.

We extract from the Natchez Daily Courier the following account of the murder of Mr. John W. Moore
, editor of Red River Whig.

AN EDITOR MURDERED: By our file of red river papers, we learn that on the morning of the 2d inst.
John W. Moore, Esq. The polite and talented editor of the Red river Whig, was murdered near
the bank of the Red river, opposite Alexandria, by an individual named Holstein. The latter had
connected himself with some political difficulty in which Mr. Moore had happened to be engaged with
the Red river Republican and had drawn upon himself a very severe notice from Mr. Moore of his
conduct in the affair. The parties had afterwards met in the street, and no attack was made; but
Holstein preferred not to give his opponent a chance for his life, and on the morning aforesaid,
with one or two chosen friends, secreted himself in a place called the “Ferry house” opposite
Alexandria, past which Mr. Moore came every morning, on his way from his residence to the town, and
after telling him that “he must beg for his life,” &c. which Mr. Moore refused, he deliberately
shot him with a large dueling pistol which he had in his belt, and which he used after his double
barreled shot gun had snapped. Mr. Moore died of the wound, which was inflicted in the abdomen, same
evening. Holstein, the murderer, has fled.

DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM

Our Townsman, Mr. George D. Young, has just completed a painting of the Destruction of
Jerusalem by Titus, in the year 70, of the Christian era. The painting is taken from an engraving
by Saunders and is tastefully and correctly executed upon canvass nine feet wide and fifteen feet
long. Independent of the pleasure we experienced in looking upon the work as the production of one
of our own citizens, it is well worthy of examination on account of the siege which it represents,
at which, we are informed by Josephus, one million one hundred thousand souls perished, and ninety
thousand were taken prisoners; and ...
